As we have a great many readers
who are old settlers of the state, the fol
lowing, taken from J. Sterling Morton's
paper, puoiisned at .Nebraska uity, may
be of value: "The Conservative wishes
to secure, for historical purposes, a copy
of the original map of the steam wagon
road from Nebraska City to Fort Kear
ney, which was lithographed and pub
lished in 1S63. Any person who can
furnish the foregoing will confer a great
favor and have the satisfaction of seeing
the map reproduced by the Conservative.
In connection with the history of freight
ing across the plains, prior to tha advent
of railroads, the map referred to is of
great value and its reproduction almost
a necessity."
Mel. Jenny of Neboville was in the

Job's comforters, an ugly companion that
he keeps under cover on bis right cheek,
and which he is seeing go steadily down
these days. Jenny Bros', cheese factory
is one of the fixed good institutions of
northeast Platte county, the peculiarity
being that the 70 cows they keep are all
Holsteins, and that the numerous bogs
they raide are Jersey Reds. A steady,
fixed purpose of right doing; a constant
holding to a clear-cut, well-marked line
of conduct has brought them success in
their business.

The High School foot ball minstrel
show, given by the players and their
friends, under the direction of Harry
Hoyt, last Friday evening, was equal to
the majority of minstrels traveling as
first-class shows. There were no hesita
tions, each apparently had his part
learned. The songs throughout were
well sung and the jokes created the
usual amount of fun. Mrs. Lulu Geitzen
presided at the piano with her usual
brilliancy. The dancing by Mr. Hoyt
was excellent but he excused himself to
the audience by saying this was not his
specialty, he could do better in the ser
pentine dance. The show will be re
peated this Tuesday evening, Dec. 12.
New jokes will be added and the pro
gram somewhat changed. On account
of the rain there was not a very large
crowd oat Friday evening.

Dan Ducey, the boy who was acci
dentally shot by James Hnmes near
Lindsay some two weeks ago, died from
the effects of the wound Tuesday night
of last week, and the funeral took place
Thursday from St. John's Catholic
church south of Lindsay. Some par
ticulars of the shooting are given below
taken from the Newman Grove Herald,
and should be a warning to others who
are in the habit of carelessly using fire
arms: "Dan Ducey lies dead at the
home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jas.
Ducey, nine miles southwest of New
man Grove, the result of the reckless
handling of a gun by a fool. The acci
dent happened near Ducey's home last
Saturday. Jimmie Hames, 13 years old,
playfully pointed the gun, a 22-caliber
rifle, at Ducey, saying he was going to
shoot him. Ducey said: 'Don't point
that thing at me, it might go off.' Hames
answered that there was no danger as
the gun wasn't loaded. The words were
scarcely out of the boy's mouth before
the gun was discharged and Dan Ducey
fell to the ground with a bullet through
his abdomen. Dan then called to Hames
to come and help him home, but the boy
stood as though paralyzed for a moment,
then dropped the gun and ran away as
fast as his legs would carry bim. Dan
lived until 11:30 Tuesday evening. He
was about 25 years of age and was an ex
emplary young man."
